Just a quick Word...

We've all been working our butts off for two months now, and clearly, it has paid off.  Opening night was amazing. You guys rocked it.  I must be honest... I had doubts as to whether or not this show would pull through come opening. I'm very happy to say that you proved me wrong. I have faith that you will continue this for the rest of the run!

Tonight I was blown away. Save for a few kinks in the sound system (I'm working on it, but c'mon... it's a public school...), the show was incredible. I can't express how proud I am of each and every member of the cast, crew, orchestra, and production team. The pride that comes to me from being associated with what I saw on that stage tonight is unrivaled. This is one great cast.

Now, for those of you in both casts, I would hate to see any of the dreaded second night blues that seems to hit a lot of shows... Keep your energy up, because you guys rock! For those of you in the Red Cast, tonight is your opening and I expect the same stellar quality from you. I know you can do it.

As for fixing the sound system, I'll do what I can during the day, but I need to do a serious EQ on the mics, so if you are wearing a mic from now on, I need you at 6:15 in costume on stage to be dressed and then check. You'll all be getting a note about this in class tomorrow, but just a head's up.

This was not quick at all... Well, I am so, so proud to have worked with such a talented company. It has been a logistics nightmare, but we really pulled through. Just stay healthy, drink lots of water, wash your hands, eat your green vegetables... all that. Congratulations for pulling this off. You deserve it.
